The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28L, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 953 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 153 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was a bit faster than desired. The touchdown distance of 1,215 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was very good. This suggests that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
The total landing distance of 4,538 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, this landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
